If the Sheriff really thinks he can defend his position on this one, he's nuttier than a fruitcake and needs to be removed from office!!!!! 
Regardless of age, you DO NOT use 1 deputy to transport that many prisoners. That said, you have to consider age/size as a factor as well. I know some 75-80 year olds that are spry as hell and will give you a run for your money  But they're still 75-80!
To top it off, he (the Deputy) violates stated safety procedures to stop for the prisoner Why?
Again, the need for 2 officers.
Broward/south Florida is turning into a shooting gallery again We need to get away from the touchy feely, politaclly correct, lets save a buck way of doing law enforcement and go back to doing it the way it should be done. This crap would stop!
God bless the officers family and extended family |
This is an all too common practice, and yes, it IS all about money. I have worked contract guard details for the U.S. Marshals where I have been the lone guard. And I know for a fact their policy demands two guards, but I'm willing to bet my agency got PAID for two!
